That manages to be hilarious and effing frightening at the same time.

It is a time of rich opportunity for a satirist...

I’m not sure if this should go here or Thursday grump. Our son, wife, two elementary school kids and their dog are now living with us. A set if unfortunate things(job change, moving and Corona) have necessitated this. At our age this was the last thing we expected. Multiply groceries, laundry, personal space, noise and confusion by 3 and you can get a sense
of what my life is like.

On the bright side we are all well physically if not mentally ok.

I know someone up here who is trying to sell their Airstream. I think it has a locking door.

Or the old style non smoking section on planes...

Haha, this brings back good memories. Air China used to separate the two sections by the centre aisle. Smoking on the right, non-smoking on the left (or was it the other way around?). Hysterical.

Hmmm...I may want more info on this someday.

I want to know who is singing the note perfect Julie Andrews part. That's not easy.

Seems like he name is Shirley Serban.

She's no one trick pony:

I've been looking at this periodically since seeing it on Twitter. It makes me feel better.

Face masks are the new fuzzy dice.

You’d be in luck in Australia. For some reason I have not been able to fathom, haircuts are deemed an essential service here.
